So this past weekend I got back my rosary.
I was talking to one of the ushers last week and the topic of rosaries in various states of disrepair came up.
I jokingly told him about my "Easter Rosary" - called such as Christ was no longer on the cross - and I mentioned that it was lost some time ago.
This week, the usher brought a rosary to me and asked if this was it. It was. My rosary that had been missing for 2 years has finally made it back.
The usher told me it had been on quite a trip in my absence.
It was found shortly after it fell from my pocket and was hung in the back lost and found.
But within a couple of days, people started using it as a spare in church and leaving it in the pew.
It was seen in the front pews for a while. Moved to the back pews for a while, and eventually made it's way to the front behind the altar.
There is stayed for several months. The usher was watching it, and decided it was not right that there was a Rosary unused.
So he took it, replaced the corpus, and had been using it as a spare for the past several months.
It took 2 years, but St Anthony eventually got my Rosary back to me. I cannot say I didn't lose faith that it would ever be returned.
